    Notes: Abstract The isolated leaf proteins of lucerne (Medicago sativa L. and M. falcata L.) were fractionated by Sepharose 6B column chromatography. Analysis of fractionated proteins indicated that the 2nd peak component was almost entirely ribulose 1,5 bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase (Rubisco) which represented 57% of the total recovered protein. Rubisco yielded one large subunit (LSU) and one small subunit (SSU) polypeptide after SDS gel electrophoresis. Isoelectric focusing of the SSU of Rubisco from genotypes of M. sativa cv. Hunter River (HR), Hairy Peruvian (HP) and of M. falcata (MF) showed two SSU components for HR and HP, and three components for MF. Most components of genotypes were located in the alkaline region of the gel. While the pIs of the SSU components of HR and HP were identical they differed from those of the SSU of MF thus demonstrating heterogeneity for SSU in Medicago. It is suggested that the alkaline nature of SSU may have some adaptive physiological significance.

    Notes: Abstract Protoplasts isolated from both 7-day-old light-grown and 4-day-old dark/dim light-grown cotyledons of four Brassica campestris varieties (Arlo, Sonja, Bunyip and Wonk Bok) were cultured in three liquid media: modified K8P, modified MS and modified Pelletier's B to compare the capacities for cell division and plant regeneration. Following cell wall regeneration the cultured protoplasts from dark/dim light-grown cotyledons of four varieties showed rapid division and high frequency of cell division compared with those isolated from light-grown cotyledons. The frequencies of cell division were significantly influenced by varieties and culture media but only in cultured protoplasts isolated from dark/dim light-grown cotyledons. The interaction between varieties and media was also significant. Cell colonies formed within 7–14 days in protoplast cultures from dark/dim light-grown cotyledons, and calli subsequently grown on a solid medium developed shoots when transferred onto a regeneration medium. Three of four tested varieties (Arlo, Sonja and Bunyip) showed shoot regeneration within 2–3 months after protoplast isolation, with a high degree of reproducibility in Arlo and Bunyip. Regenerated shoots, which were induced to root on half-strength MS medium with 0.1 mg.l−1 IBA, survived in soil and grew to produce siliques and set viable seeds in the greenhouse. The present report is the first to document the production of regenerated plants that set seeds in Brassica campestris from cotyledonary protoplasts.

    Notes: Abstract Proteinase inhibitors have been used to increase resistance to insect pests in transgenic plants. A cDNA clone encoding a multi-domain proteinase inhibitor precursor from Nicotiana alata (Na-PI) was transferred into tobacco and peas under the control of a promoter from a ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase small subunit gene. The Na-PI precursor was cleaved in the leaves of transgenic tobacco and peas, and Mr 6000 polypeptides accumulated to levels of 0.3% and 0.1%, respectively, of the total soluble protein. The Na-PI cDNA segregated as a dominant Mendelian trait and was stably transmitted for at least two generations of both species. Helicoverpa armigera larvae that ingested tobacco or pea leaves containing Na-PI exhibited higher mortality or were delayed in growth and development relative to control larvae.

    Notes: Summary Two distinct legumin genes (LegA1 and LegA2) which encode a major class of seed storage protein in pea were isolated from a genomic library. The cloned fragments were introduced into tobacco via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and the regenerated plants were used to study the expression characteristics of the genes in a heterologous host. It was found that both LegA1 and LegA2 were functional members of the pea legumin gene family and that their expression was similar in both pea and transgenic tobacco. Legumin was detected only in the seed of tobacco where the primary translation products were processed in a manner analogous to that which occurs in pea. Legumin gene expression was also shown to be temporally regulated during seed development. Legumin polypeptides and mRNA began to accumulate 16 days after flowering (DAF), in contrast to the endogenous tobacco storage proteins which were apparent at 13 DAF. It was also demonstrated that the legumin genes in tobacco were environmentally regulated to the nutritional status of the plant. As has been previously shown in pea, legumin accumulation in transgenic tobacco seed was progressively reduced when the plants were grown under conditions of increasing severity of sulphur-nutrient stress. The reduced accumulation of protein was correlated with lower levels of legumin mRNA in the developing seed. Despite encoding nearly identical subunits, nucleotide sequence data for LegA1 and LegA2 showed that the similarity of their respective 5′-flanking regions was restricted to several short elements mostly within 240 bp from the start of transcription. However, a deletion series using the LegA1 gene demonstrated that 237 by of 5′-flanking sequence was insufficient to permit the expression of the legumin gene in tobacco. The data indicated that an as yet unidentified sequence element(s) located between positions −668 and −237 was essential in re-establishing the high level of regulated gene expression observed with the full-length LegA1 gene.

    Notes: Abstract Protoplasts isolated from cotyledons of a number of cultivars of Brassica napus, B. campestris and B. oleracea were cultured in different media to study the characteristics of cell wall regeneration and cell division at early stages of culture. Time course analysis using Calcolfluor White staining indicated that cell wall regeneration began in some protoplasts 2–4 h following isolation in all cultivars. 30–70% of cultured cotyledon protoplasts exhibited cell wall regeneration at 24 h and about 60–90% at 72 h after the initiation of culture. Results also indicated that a low percentage (0.4–5.4%) of cultured cotyledon protoplasts entered their first cell division one day after initial culture in all twelve cultivars. The percentage of dividing cells increased linearly up to 40% from 1 to 7 day, indicating that cotyledon protoplasts of Brassica had a high capacity for cell division. Factors that influence the level of cell wall regeneration and cell division during cotyledon protoplast culture have been investigated in this study. Cotyledons from seedlings germinated in a dark/dim light regime provided a satisfactory tissue source for protoplast isolation and culture for all Brassica cultivars used. The percentages of protoplasts exhibiting cell wall regeneration and division were significantly influenced by cultivar and species examined, with protoplasts from all five cultivars of B. campestris showing much lower rates of cell wall regeneration than those of B. napus and B. oleracea over 24–120 h, and with the levels of cell division in B. napus cultivars being much higher than those in B. campestris and B. oleracea over 1–9 days. The capacity of cell wall regeneration and cell division in cotyledon protoplast culture of the Brassica species appears under strong genetic control. Cell wall regeneration in protoplast culture was not affected by the culture medium used. In contrast, the composition of the culture medium played an important role in determining the level of cell division, and the interaction between medium type and cultivars was very significant.

    Notes: Abstract Cotyledons from twelve cultivars of Brassica; B. napus (Westar, Eureka, Global, Pivot and Narc 82); B. campestris: (Arlo, Sonja, Bunyip and Wonk Bok) and B. oleracea (Phenomenal Early, Sugar Loaf and Earliball) were used for protoplast isolation and culture in a comparative study of cell colony and callus formation, and plant regeneration. The formation of cell colonies and callus from protoplast cultures were significantly influenced by the light conditions of seed germination. All twelve cultivars showed callus formation from protoplast cultures derived from cotyledons of seedlings grown in dark for 3 days followed by 1 day dim light (dark/dim light-grown). Callus was obtained in all five liquid media used: modified K8P(1), modified K8P(2), modified MS, modified B and modified NN. In contrast, only six cultivars exhibited callus formation from the protoplasts isolated from cotyledons of seedlings germinated under light conditions for 7 days (light-grown) and in only three media: modified K8P(1), modified MS, modified B. Callus, derived from protoplast cultures isolated from dark/dim light-grown cotyledons and grown on K3 or MS series solid media for about 1 month, could develop shoots when further transferred onto MS series regeneration media. All five cultivars of B. napus, three of the four cultivars of B. campestris (Arlo, Sonja and Bunyip) and one of the three cultivars of B. oleracea (Sugar Loaf) exhibited shoot regeneration from protoplast cultures within 2–3 months after protoplast isolation. The frequency of shoot regeneration ranged among 1–22.5%. A high degree of reproducibility was observed in cultivars Westar, Eureka, Global, Arlo, Bunyip and Sugar Loaf. In contrast, among the six cultivars that formed callus in protoplast culture derived from light-grown cotyledons, only three cultivars from B. napus (Westar, Eureka, Global) exhibited shoot regeneration 5.5 months after protoplast isolation. Regenerated shoots from cultivars Westar, Eureka and Bunyip and Sugar Loaf, which derived from protoplasts of dark/dim light germinated seedling and were induced to root on rooting media, survived in soil and grew to produce silique and set seeds.
